How The City in New York built from the ground up to listen, respond and foster community
Oct 1, 2025 03:00 PM Amsterdam, Berlin, Rome, Stockholm, Vienna
Speaker: Nic Dawes, Executive Director, The City, USA
Moderator: Niklas Jonason, Innovate Local Programme Director, WAN-IFRA Sweden
The award-winning and non-profit local news site The City offers “reporting to New Yorkers” since its launch in 2019 and now reaches an impressive audience. The investigative journalism of its 30-head newsroom has resulted in criminal indictments, political resignations and ethics inquiries. It has inspired new laws, influenced budget decisions and reversed injustices. An important inspiration for The City’s journalism is the open newsroom and an intense and close dialogue with its readers.
